Canada's Olympic Round Robin

Canada's Men's Olympic Hockey team took to the Olympic ice February 13th, in an opening matchup against Norway. With majority of Canadian fans believing this game would be a blowout, it was a closer score that the fans got. After a scoreless first period, Shea Weber hammered a shot from the point beating the Norwegian goalie putting the Canadians up 1-0. Later in the period, Dallas Stars Captain Jamie Benn scored a goal to put Team Canada up 2-0 going into the 3rd. Shortly into the 3rd period, Norway was able to sneak one up high on Carey Price cutting the lead to one. However, Norway's chances of a comeback were short lived when Canada's Drew Doughty absolutely undressed 3 Norwegian players and burying the puck on the backhand, capitalizing a 3-1 opening win for Team Canada in their first game of the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Game 2 came the next day as Team Canada faced off against Team Austria. Roberto Luongo got the start for Canada, he wasn't tested too much, but when Canada needed a save he delivered. The offence showed up for Team Canada, but it didn't come from their big guns. Canada's Drew Doughty scored to give them a 1-0 lead and that opened up the flood gates for the Canadians. Doughty's teammate in Los Angeles, Jeff Carter put the team on his back recording a Hat-Trick and giving Canada a commanding lead that was theirs the whole game. Canada beat the Austrians 6-0, Shea Weber and Ryan Getzlaf scored as well in the win.

In the 3rd and final preliminary game for Canada at the Olympics they were up against Team Finland in a battle for 1st place in Group B. And it was a close game, as many expected with Finland starting Tuuka Rask in net. Canada was able to get on the board in the first on the powerplay from Drew Doughty recording his 3rd goal of the games. Finland was able to tie the game late in the 2nd period on a deflection in front by Tuomo Ruutu, sending the game into the 3rd tied 1-1. The 3rd period didn't solve anything, so it was off to overtime. And who else to score the overtime winner and put Team Canada atop Group B, but Drew Doughty giving Canada the 2-1 victory.
